Pushing you to the edge

Amazon employees just aren't treated well or even fairly. The harder you work, the more work you will be given and the more strenuous that work will be. This is true for all individual contributors from programmers to workers in the FCs (fulfillment centers).

Therefore, Amazon will keep pushing you to the edge in terms of the physical toll the work will take on you. Once you reach that tipping point, usually to the point of injury or mental exhaustion, you must still regularly perform or you will face disciplinary action. It's an insane system that doesn't believe in giving people a long term career here.
